Devotional Music

"Music works upon the nervous system, the feeling of life, and creates a symphony out of emotion. In other words, a summary of feeling is somehow gestured out of the human being through the impact of music, whereas a note-by-note analysis of the music would have no meaning. You cannot somehow find out how music has that emotional effect. It is more magical, more arbitrary, more free than that."
— Avatar Adi Da Samraj

A diversity of talented musicians have created this collection of CDs and Cassettes. But most importantly, their music is an expression of their devotional heart-response to Avatar Adi Da's Divine Blessing.

The listener is invited to directly participate in the invocation of Avatar Adi Da as it unfolded during the Vigil immediately following His Divine Mahasamadhi (His physical passing).

Hear devotional chants, music, and puja sounds recorded live during the Vigil on the day of Avatar Adi Da's Physical Interment in November 2008, and from anniversary occasions in 2009 and 2010.

Captured from portable recorders, video footage, and live mixes, the recordings on these CDs bring listeners into the very heart of invoking Avatar Adi Da during one-of-a-kind moments of His Divine Self-Revelation. Professionally remastered for a high-quality experience of all the sounds from these historic events.

On November 2, 2013, the eve of the seventy-fourth anniversary of Avatar Adi Da’s Birth, a live concert was held to celebrate His Eternal Blessing of all.

The rendition of the Ode to Divine Joy performed during that occasion at the Mountain Of Attention Sanctuary (Northern California) is a unique fusion of two performances: the live performance and a 1990 studio recording played as accompaniment. This unique amalgam of both studio and live performances of Ode to Divine Joy, as well as all of the other pieces of the live concert included on this CD, are offered in the spirit of celebration and gratitude.

Ancient Indian prayers and poems set to new music by Tamarind Free Jones and Gawain Mathews

Praise for Tamarind’s music:

"Hauntingly beautiful, sung with the voice of an angel. A mesmerizing sound that will soothe your soul and lift your spirit toward the light in the universe. A breath of fresh air from the void of modern music."
—Karl Anderson, Global Recording Artists

In November 2010, a group of musicians traveled to the sacred hermitage island of Adi Da Samrajashram (Naitauba, Fiji) for spiritual retreat. We played daily at many of the holy sites on the island. We particularly fell into a blissful mood when playing on the veranda of our Guru's house. There, in the open air, with fresh breezes blowing, gentle waves washing, and birds chirping, we fell into deep devotion as we played. The music on this recording was spontaneously created on these occasions.
—John Wubbenhorst

Jaya began in 1997 with an ecstatic collection of music dedicated to Avatar Adi Da Samraj. They launched their first concert tour in Boston and New York and soon followed with a 5-city CD release tour.

A special project of world class musicians with a common vision: that the full palette of world music can awaken us to ecstasy by invoking the Divine.

Jaya's fresh, intoxicating blend of delicious dance grooves, engaging English lyrics and Sanskrit chant will move you into ecstatic space. It has unexpected shapes and curves - sounds that take you where you want to go.

Eight devotion-filled tracks with five new, original pieces set to Avatar Adi Da’s Ecstatic Words. Also includes two traditional Indian pieces which Antonina has sung in Sacred Offerings to her Beloved Guru over the years.

A deeply moving, sacred, contemplative CD that celebrates Adi Da's Life of Love and Blessing.
This tribute to Adi Da Samraj includes music from many different genres, ranging from Indian classical to jazz to world music and other contemporary styles.

Made by Naamleela Free Jones as a gift for Adi Da Samraj and recorded in honor of the 10th anniversary of her first CD, Hers To Me. Again, for this second album, she chose many of her favorite pieces that she has played for Adi Da Samraj over the years.
